I hope you'll join us for Ignite Portland 2 in early February.

Ignite Portland 2
www.igniteportland.com
Tuesday, February 5th, 6-9pm
Bagdad Theater and Pub (3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR)

Ignite is coming back to Portland! Share burning ideas.

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only  
got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around  
the world geeks have been putting together Ignite nights to show their  
answers. Topics range all over the map - from straight-up tech to  
creative arts to hobbies to general knowledge topics. Ignite Portland  
on February 5th will the second in an ongoing series of Ignite events  
in Portland and we invite you to be part of it.

We have a confirmed date and venue for the second Ignite Portland  
event! Tuesday, February 5, 2008, at the Bagdad Theater and Pub (3702  
SE Hawthorne Blvd., Portland, OR) from 6PM to 9PM, and is free for all.

If you're interested in getting a taste of Ignite, take a look at the  
videos from the first Ignite Portland in October:

We need your help to make Ignite Portland 2 a fantastic event. Here's  
what you can do...

1) If you plan to attend, please add yourself to the Ignite Portland  
Upcoming page as an attendee. This will help us get a more accurate  
attendance count and plan accordingly for food and drinks:

2) Forward this email on to people that may have an interest in  
attending, blog it, Twitter it, invite your Facebook friends, however  
you connect on the Internet! As we have done little marketing of the  
event (so far), assume that your local social network doesn't know  
about it yet. All are invited - this is not a tech-specific event,  
although many of the presentations will likely be tech-related (some  
will not - as the example talk above represents).

3) Are you interested in being a presenter? We've launched a new  
presentation proposal form. Please submit you ideas! The deadline for  
proposal submission is Janaury 15th.

4) Help identify sponsors. We are looking for additional sponsors to  
cover food, drinks, and signage. This is a not for profit event. 100%  
of sponsor dollars are for venue, printing, and refreshment costs.  
There is a sponsors page on www.igniteportland.com with contact details.

We hope to see you at Ignite Portland 2! It's going to be a  
blast...again.
